American Cars of the '50s-Bind-up

Front Cover
MBI Publishing Company LLC, 2003 - Transportation - 288 pages
The golden age of American cars and trucks are chronicled in this nostalgic combination. Gleeming chrome, outrageous fins, and those wonderfully brash two tone paint schemes are shown in abundance in 288 full color pages. Hearkens to the days when you could tell the make of a car or turck from the other end of the street and every fall anticipated a refreshingly new look to your favorite model. A great gift for the lover of fins and chrome. Motorbooks Enthusiast Color Series features well over 100 titles on every subject for which we publish.
